Harold Varmus, co-recipient of the 1989 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, has served as the President of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center since January 2000. Dr. Varmus introduces the seminar’s three senior investigators.

A physician-scientist and Chair of Memorial Sloan-Kettering’s Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program, Charles Sawyers studies how signaling pathway abnormalities in cancer cells can be exploited as targets for new cancer drugs. In this lecture, Dr. Sawyers discusses how recent success in targeted therapy is changing the way we hope to treat other cancers.
